Kali, we have the potential here to survey tens of thousands of users. That's the whole point. We have no 'hard numbers' from the manufacturers and sellers. If buying people from MR respond accurately and in sufficient number, we will at last get an idea of which is the most popular device. Afterwards, we can discuss why. Neil
Bought a Sony.
This poll is only valid though if you assume (or know) that mobileread members are representative of the ereader buying population in general and particularly in the USA, since the Nook, as far as I know, is not available outside of it.
